1 MORE THAN 165 FREE ACTIVITIES TOWER HAMLETS ACTIVITIES

2 Welcome Welcome to a summer of fabulous, free fun for children, young people, adults and the whole family. This year, we have worked hard to put together a wide variety of interesting and exciting events and activities that will take place in our parks, on our estates, Urban Adventure Base activity centre and at leisure centres across the borough. Along with our partners who include Play Association Tower Hamlets and GLL Leisure, we want to make sure residents are able to take part in an ever growing range of community, cultural and leisure activities. Knowing how to keep children and young people entertained through the school holidays can sometimes be daunting especially when things can cost so much. But we have an extensive range of fantastic, free and low cost activities that will keep everyone happy, without needing to spend a fortune. You can try the free and subsidized swimming sessions at our leisure centres. Kids can also explore BMX biking, canoeing, athletics, football, food making and so much more. Make the most of the long - and hopefully warm - summer days by visiting our wonderful award winning parks and open spaces. This year, the much-loved Victoria Park added another accolade to its long list of awards by being named Most Loved Local Park - in the Time Out Love London Awards. A Great Day Out, another Vicky Park institution, returns this year on Saturday August 4 with live music, fairground rides, arts and crafts and many more activities. If you aim to be more active and improve your fitness this year, check out one of our new outdoor gyms, which are due to open in July and August with events including sports, games and children s inflatables. From pickling workshops to wild food walks and pizza making, there s something for everyone to try. Unsure where to start? Have a look through your Summer Activities 2018 guide. There are more than 165 free events on offer. Here s wishing you a great summer. John Biggs Mayor of Tower Hamlets Cllr Amina Ali, Cabinet Member, for Culture, Arts and Brexit 2
